As a mental health professional, I specialize in the treatment of substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. I am particularly passionate about assisting students of all levels achieve academic success, overcoming major obstacles to experience an overall positive quality of life. With a diverse background in the fields of mental health, business and education, I am well equipped to help individuals harness their own internal motivation and drive to live happy and healthy lives.

My goal is to help you attain your goals and actualize what a successful and fulfilling life means to you.

I also provide services as a court-appointed Child and Family Investigator (CFI) and Parenting Time Supervisor, and am experienced in working high-conflict divorce cases.

I provide counseling services to children (2+), adolescents, and adults specializing in childhood trauma including physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and witnessing domestic violence.

My approach is supportive, warm, and collaborative. I believe that the client/counselor relationship is crucial in the therapeutic process. I am integrative in approach as I believe that no single therapy is beneficial for everyone. I use various counseling theories and techniques to treat the "whole" person. Depending on your goals in therapy I may draw from, experiential, cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic, and/or systemic approaches. In working with children I primarily use play therapy techniques.
